Customers turn to Mott MacDonald to deliver their capital investment programmes on time, to budget and with quality exceeding stakeholder expectations.

We offer expertise in programme management across a broad spectrum of projects around the world – from infrastructure development to health services delivery. Our services range from high-level programme management and business planning for major multi-nationals to small-scale projects for individual customers.

We're involved in programme managing one of North America's biggest airport projects - the C$2 billion terminal redevelopment at Toronto's LB Pearson airport. We also acted as programme manager for GO Transit's C$600 million Union Station redevelopment.Programme management encompasses all aspects of management and co-ordination through the entire development process, from studies, planning and design to implementation, start-up and operational support.

Our experts set and monitor clearly defined work stages and if required propose alternative solutions to maintain schedule.


We also establish cost plans and cash flows, incorporating all relevant costs. Actual costs, variations and projected costs are monitored and constantly updated to ensure the vital aspect of management information – out-turn cost – is readily available and understood by the customer and all key players. Our specialists are experienced in using all the leading proprietary software planning systems and can thus integrate with those used by our customers and other parties in the project. Through our extranet facility we’re also able to set up programme-specific extranets to enhance the speed, clarity and efficiency of communication and knowledge sharing.
